Fort Point Arts NeighborHood

Generations of artists have established Fort Point as a thriving cultural district. They created a permanent home for artist-controlled buildings and cultural groups. Through their efforts, they laid the foundation of a neighborhood for both current artists and generations to come. The map below shows the proposed boundary for the District.

Fort Point is one of New England’s largest artists’ communities, with three dedicated artist buildings and cultural organizations like Artists for Humanity and the Boston Children’s Museum, and institutions like GrubStreet and the Institute for Contemporary Art nearby.

Fort Point provides artists at all stages of their career a place to work and live in Boston. It aspires to: support artists by providing affordable work-live studios and jobs help and support cultural organizations, and encourage the flow of ideas and skills between disciplines and generations.

Fort Point fosters collaborations across disciplines that otherwise might not have occurred. By living and working in one neighborhood, artists can bring unique opportunities to the City.

The area seeks to include, welcome, and help displaced organizations and artists build roots in Fort Point.
